All those little things that might bug you about where you live - dog waste, flyposting burglar alarms going off - are monitored closely, it turns out. Councils have the power to issue fixed-penalty notices for a whole range of environmental offences.

It doesn't include the stuff that police have the authoirty over, such as street-drinking, but it does cover:

• Graffiti• Litter• Nuisance parking• Lack of a key holder for your burglar alarm• Abandoned vehicles• Out of control dogs• Dog fouling• The state of your rubbish bin

The majority of these are issued by local authority officers, but police and Environment Agency officers do issue some - ranging from £20 for unnecessary idling of a stationary vehicle engine to £500 for failing to comply with a noise warning notice in licenced premises.

It's a fascinating picture of low-level offences across the country. Litter is the big offence - there were 35,495 notices issued for litter offences in 2008/09 and an astonishing £1.4m was collected in fines.

The detailed data provides some interesting insights into regional differences.

• Peterborough leads the way in litter fixed penalty notices - it issued 3,110 in 2008/09. In contrast, only one notice was issued in Derbyshire• Mansfield has the highest number of graffiti notices issued - 29• Liverpool appears to be cracking down on dog fouling - some 590 notices were issued, the highest in the country• Likewise, Hartlepool is tough on inadequate rubbish bins - 257 FPNs were issued over the state of rubbish bins in the borough
